At the sports desk: ND women's hoops--sharpshooters

It was all good in their latest win, on the road at Boston College:

"Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw found little, if anything, not to like in her team's 102-54 demolition of Boston College on Sunday. Six players scored in double figures, the team shot nearly 65 percent — including 7-for-8 on 3-pointers — and forced 28 Eagles turnovers on the way to a 3-0 record."

What's most significant to me is how well the Irish shot from beyond the 3 point line. That's something they've tried to shore up. Maybe they have. Meanwhile, historically, the Irish have had a hard time at BC, and there's good women's basketball tradition there. So maybe Muffet's club has a chance to be real good.
